Ok guys, for all of you who read part 1 you now know that Swedes do not wear shoes inside. Well then what do they do if they don\u2019t want to lose \u201ca part of their outfit\u201d?<\/p>\n
#1 Most Swedes have shoes for all occasions. Shoes you wear outside, then when inside you usually walk around in socks or bare feet. If you want to dress up or go to a party you take your \u201cfancy\u201d shoes with you. It is not uncommon that people take \u201cindoor\u201d shoes with them to their work places as well. The Swedish shoes called \u201ccrocs\u201d are quite a funny sight in office buildings, everybody walking around in colorful shoes. But people also wear sandals to keep their feet healthier instead of wearing high heel shoes they can let their feet \u201cbreathe\u201d.<\/p>\n
#2 Tomato sauce (Ketchup<\/strong>) is the number 1 condiment in Sweden. There is no competition what so ever from any other condiments, no HP or anything. Almost everything has ketchup poured over it if not for the exception of bearnaise<\/strong> s\u00e5s, which Swedes love to put on salads, meat and anything else thinkable.<\/p>\n #3 As you all know (at least those of you who have been to Sweden) that Swedish food is however much advertised as \u201cforeign\u201d and \u201cexotic\u201d will be \u201cSwedish-ised\u201d. Food made Swedish only means making it milder, and putting ketchup all over it. In some countries the whole food culture is based on fresh vegetables. This might be a problem some times since fresh vegetables aren\u2019t as easily accessible as in other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n #4 In almost every window in a normal Swedish house\/apartment you can expect to see a small hanging lamp to make the room look \u201chomier\u201d. In addition to that a flower can most likely be found, whether it is a plastic one or not differs. In the winter the flowers are exchanged for Jewish looking menorahs (Julstakar<\/strong>, ljusstakar<\/strong>). All these decorations to make the room and house look friendlier and more homey.<\/p>\n I was thinking about posting a couple of posts about \u201cQuirky facts\u201d in for example \u201cthe office\u201d and \u201cin school\u201d. If you have any ideas, feel free to post a comment with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok guys, for all of you who read part 1 you now know that Swedes do not wear shoes inside.
